KEV MAXEN BE FIRST MALE ACH A US MEN’S PROFSNAL SPORTS LEAGUE TO PUBLICLY E OUT AS GAY

Different eras emphasize different aspects of the gay experience: WW 2 we have gays battle (amazgly well tolerated for the time- so much for gays breakg down ary hivens); different eras ’s the lerary set, the theater (the groundbreakg premier of ‘The Boys the Band’, for stance), Stonewall, the bars and bathho, the begng of the AIDS epimic and the horrifyg number of aths that followed. Favor first-edn gay Author 142 books226 followersReadNovember 13, 2011It’s almost funny to read how Otis Bigelow (famo to be the most handsome man of the ’40s New York Cy, and veted by lnair and artists) reported as beg gay “was an upsle thg to be”, but at the same time the thor reports as jt “across town om Park Avenue swells who entertaed him so lavishly their duplex apartments, a pletely different kd of gay life was thrivg Tim Square”.

Otis Bigelow was not wrong as they were not wrong the obv fairi of Tim Square, they were simply navigatg different “hidn pla sight” approach was apparently pretty mon the ’40s, and so we learn om the memory of a fund boy om New England who wants to rema anonymo as he went to school wh John Fzgerald Kenney, and between the two, the outst was Kennedy; but there is also the si news of how JFK’s roommate, Lemoyne Billgs, was gay and how he remaed fay iend even after the print om the words of many gay men who was there and lived that ’40s atmosphere the general opn is that, you uld be gay sce you simply didn’t flnt .

That is basilly what Otis Bigelow and those other anonymo voic implied, you were ee to be gay as far as you were gay si “private” maybe that is the reason why, a perd when civil rights were startg to be a mon agenda of many policians, was not the same when those rights regard LGBT people. You were ee si your private home, btw if you were wealthy enough to have that safe home, but you were also ptive of your own goln is a long ssn voted to the gays the ary durg the WWII. Forster, and how Cadm was aware of Forster’s novel Mrice, a novel the thor refed to publish until after his ath to not damage his policeman “iend” (who was married) ’50s is a perd of phoria but apparently also started the perd when beg gay was dangero, and so should be hidn; if the ’40 you uld be gay si private walls, the ’50s even that eedom was a danger, and the walls of a room beme the more nfed space of a closet.

Maybe for this reason, late the ’50s the ma tenncy was to “blend” and you see gays people gettg married, wh or whout the knowledge of the ’60s see a surge of nscienc, all the level of society, and so also among gays and lbians. New York saw not only the first relig ngregatn for gays, but also Columbia Universy beme one of the first lleg to give formal regnn to a gay stunts anizatn.

GAY PARTI & EVENTS

Homosexualy exed om the closet and arrived televisn, wh a ground-breakg documentary, The bridge between the ’60 and the ’70 is Stonewall, and so om that moment on there will be always a pre and post-Stonewall gay and lbian movement and culture: “although lns would rema the closet, wh a year after Stonewall, thoands of men and women would fd the urage to clare themselv for the first time”. Not only, beg gay, or at least bisexual, was almost “fashnable”, and many media, televisn, cema, publishg, the gay characters not only started to make their appearance, they were also, sometime, posively accepted by the mastream public.

Gay subculture as began to acquire a sense of muny New York Cy and other large ci after World War 2, and then, the 60s, to move out of the closet and claim polil rights.
